Sony official unveils new PlayStation 4 model – lighter and consumes less power

With Microsoft teasing a new Xbox One SKU (the same console yet with double the capacity), Sony has also officially announced it’s new PlayStation 4 SKU — that is a brand new model that’s lighter and eats less electricity.

Sporting a model number of CUH-1200a, the new PlayStation 4 consumes 8% less power compared to the first model with a 10% reduction in weight. Aside from a hardware revision, the shiny finish of the unit has been replaced with a matte one – presumably due to the number of complaints about finger prints.
